What's Buzz-worthy: No, you're not seeing things ... this is another break of this one as I am burning off some boxes I've been sitting on after the recent re-arrival out in the retail wild. This one was atrocious for non-rookie base cards -- just three names mentioned above out of 30 and even those aren't great -- but the RC lineup here helped it out quite a bit with Ja Morant and Tyler Herro among others and then some strong names in the slightly rarer Rookie Debut subset. The remainder of the inserts and parallels were hit and miss, too, but the RCs got it to an A- grade from me. (I'm feeling nice today and this brand has been relatively good to me this year. You can find plenty breaks of this one if you poke around here.) This is one of a few NBA brands from this year that I've dug in on hard and you should consider it in any format if you happen across it out there.

Product Grade: A-
Box Grade: A- (two Morants help this one out but the run of base cards should have gotten this a lower grade ... I'm being nice today)
Fun Grade: B (see above)
